Beyond Reason: The True Story of a Shocking Double Murder

By Ken Englade

The Woman: She was a beautiful, gifted descendant of Lady Astor. But Elizabeth Haysom was also a spoiled, willful daughter of privilege.

The Lover: He was the brilliant young son of a German diplomat. But his love for Elizabeth would draw Jens Soering into a web of madness and murder.

The Murder: When Elizabeth's parents were found savagely butchered in their elegant Virginia country home, she and Jens fled to Europe-igniting an international manhunt that spanned three continents.

The Trial: The sensational courtroom drama that followed painted a twisted portrait of two golden youths consumed by hatred and perverse fantasies. Elizabeth's startling testimony-and intimations of acts and desires that went beyond mere murder-would reveal a tangled web of dark secrets and deadly obsession.

Reviews for Beyond Reason

[ague_3 · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

Some of this book is fascinating. It got boring towards the end and repetitious. The author actually comes across as somewhat biased before the book is done. There is an obstacle with the book, as because of copyright law, the author was not allowed to quote from the personal letters and diaries of the criminals themselves.
